Climate-induced phenology shifts linked to range expansions in species with multiple reproductive cycles per year

Many species’ life cycles have moved earlier in the year because of climate change, but we do not know the consequences for range expansions. The authors show that these advances promote range expansions in species with multiple reproductive cycles per year, but not in species with only one.
